Atlanta, Georgia – After a triumphant night at the Grammy awards, rapper and activist Killer Mike found himself in handcuffs due to an alleged physical altercation at the event. According to the Los Angeles Police Department, the Atlanta native, whose real name is Michael Render, was taken into custody on Sunday night and booked for misdemeanor battery.
Despite the unexpected turn of events, Killer Mike remained unfazed, stating “Over zealous security, but I am good,” in a text to The Atlanta Journal-Constitution. He further reassured that he was “Three Grammys good!” in response to inquiries about his well-being.
The incident, which occurred just hours after Killer Mike swept the rap awards at the Grammys, is said to have involved a security guard at the venue. However, the details surrounding the altercation remain unconfirmed, with no official information released regarding the exact circumstances that led to his detainment.
Although the rapper’s arrest came as a surprise, it did not overshadow his success at the awards ceremony. Prior to the incident, Killer Mike won three Grammy awards, including best rap album, best rap performance, and best rap song – solidifying his status as one of the night’s big winners.
While Killer Mike’s detainment is sure to raise questions and speculation, the Atlanta community celebrates his achievements and eagerly anticipates his release as the Grammy-winning artist navigates this unforeseen challenge.
